WALK ON THE WILD SIDE – OSPREY NEST INSTALLED AT PICTURE BUTTE RESERVOIR

  PICTURE BUTTE, ALTA. Osprey arriving back to southern Alberta after a long migration, will have a new nesting structure at the Picture Butte reservoir. The nest platform, which was installed on a tall wooden pole, has been donated and built by AltaLink to be ready for the return of osprey this spring. Local volunteers with the Walk On the Wild Side Society brought branches to build the starter nest. “What we’re trying to do is get one of the higher predators in, which helps to balance the whole eco-system,” said John Kolk, a society member who farms nearby.
